If you have access to an air compressor, maybe harbor freight carries a paint gun for you. I know that Princess Auto does and they're functionally the same store. The gun I had for the bike - I say had because I don't think I've seen it in 7odd years... it must be around, I don't throw anything out - was under $30 and my former neighbor (owns a body shop) said it looked like a professional gun maybe refurbed or something.

I think maybe it was this one?

Her cover coat came off today. There are a couple of small flaws thanks to that but I'm thinking we may use her as the "learning machine" and leave them alone. It's little things - a tiny bit of the decal on the front by the needle came off and according to the back of the machine, she's a Sincer. Knowing that, next time, I think I'd take the that particular cover coat off from right to left to give the arm on the "G" the best chance at remaining intact.
